Wow I didn't realise not being confrontational was considered a weakness given some of these comments. Machida is everything and seemingly nothing. His style is so well rounded it's unbelievable. He can strike offensively, counter strike, grapple, has great submissions and he's fast. I see no weaknesses at all. Can anyone name one that's not childish rhetoric? The guy cops no damage which ultimately is better because it protects his body, brain and stamina in the short and long term which trumps entertainment for people who only appreciate toe to toe bombthrowing and nothing else. Oh yeah and he actually wins. The Rua win was controversial but I'm yet to see a style that can rattle him. Personally I think he's as big for MMA as the first time Gracie Jiu Jitsu had major exposure in the ring. Just my opinion, I'm not an expert some people just need to appreciate this guy for what he is.

Persionally i think evans has his ufc 108 match already won against silva. Evans is to smart for silva, hes a tactician, while silva depends on blind strikes and strength.
|
Your nuts mate. "blind strikes and strength" come fight night you'll see what goes down
|
Lyoto Machida had this figh won already!!Thiago Silva on the other has alot of work too do i dont think he will beat Rashad Evans in UFC 107!
|
Oh also thanks for the re-posting this!!! This is one of my favorite Machida fights. <333333
|
Because its one of the only fights that he can finish

@Carswell
Also if Forrest can beat and maul Rampage. Machida will murder him. Simple as that. So I agree.
To those who say Machida is a "running man". What Machida is doing is called "dodging". Where as lesser fighters would just stand there getting hit and as a result get KTFO. Machida is just too fast and too skilled for fighters who've only been doing it for 3 years, where Machida has been trained to fight his whole life. If you look closely, you can clearly see he's toying with most of his opponents, on top of that he's also outsmarting them.

Hahaha some of the comments on here are hilarous and made by some stupid people. Some examples: The guy who mentioned Pierre...I don't even know how to describe how much you have failed by writing that. You should run away and hide yourself in shame. Idiot...
Then there's the person who said that Machida does deserve a shot at the title, but is a running BITCH. Well buddy I'm sure you wouldn't say that to his face so I guess that makes you the BITCH. And if you were dumb enough to say it, Lyoto would whoop your sorry ass, or maybe you wouldn't even be worth his time.
Then the person who said that Rashad is going to bury that running faggot. HAHAHA I DON'T THINK SO BUD. Rashad got knocked the hell out lol.

is this guy a joke? a shot at the title, you guys think he can go against pierre? he runs around until he sees openings, thats cheap dude, if the other guy was to play d, you wouldnt have a fight would you, ha ha, call him the running man. pierre isnt at his prime watch his fights he gets better in each one, pffffff.
